llama.cpp b9974 Release Fixes CUDA Memory Crash
The latest b9974 release of llama.cpp addresses a critical issue for CUDA users by preventing crashes when querying memory on devices with no free memory. Previously, attempting to check memory availability could lead to a fatal crash if the device was out of memory. The update now assigns zero total/free memory to such devices, ensuring the fit algorithm doesn't attempt to use them, thus avoiding crashes. This change enhances stability for CUDA-enabled builds, especially when users specify '-dev none'. While the update doesn't introduce new features, it significantly improves reliability for developers working with CUDA devices.
